Finding the Wow Factor in Your Candidate Experience with Brent Schreckengost of Avalara Talent On The Rise

The candidate experience is more important than ever now that the tables have turned, where it's an employee job market, not an employer job market according to Brent Schreckengost, Director of Talent Acquisition at Avalara.
As the talent acquisition industry begins to better understand the importance of a positive candidate experience and track this data, we see more and more how this experience impacts the whole talent acquisition program. A single candidate’s experience impacts not only their own decision as to whether to join the company now or in the future, but also the interest of their friends, acquaintances, loved ones, and even the larger job-seeker community. Providing a positive candidate experience is not only about filling a position, but about finding a pool of potential candidates aligned with your company's strategic growth plan.
So how do you put that wow factor into the candidate experience? Here are a few best practices inspired by our conversation with Brent Schreckengost.
